Over deze songtekst:

Geschreven door het schrijverskoppel Barry Mann en Cynthia Well, die ook nummers schreven als Don't know much, I just can't help believing en You've lost that lovin' feelin'. De originele opname is wel degelijk van The Animals in 1965. Voor The Animals was het de eerste single met een nieuwe bezetting, waarbij oa leadzanger Eric Burdon z'n debuut maakte. Zijn typerende rauwe stem past geweldig bij het nummer. Het nummer was heel populair bij soldaten in de Vietnam Oorlog. Maar ook bij jongeren algemeen in een nieuw tijdperk dat kwam met hits van The Beatles, The Rolling Stones en Bob Dylan om als jongere uit het geordende rollende leventje van de maatschappij te stappen en zich zo te willen losbreken.

In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'.

Now my girl you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due, I know.

Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'
Watched his hair been turnin' grey
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
Oh yes I know it.

(Yeah!) He's been workin' so hard
(Yeah!) I've been workin' too, baby
(Yeah!) Every night and day
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!).

We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
'Cause girl, there's a better life for me and you.

Now my girl you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true, yeah
You'll be dead before your time is due, I know it.

Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'
Watched his hair been turnin' grey, yeah
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
I know he's been workin' so hard.

(Yeah!) I've been workin' too, baby
(Yeah!) Every day baby
(Yeah!) Whoa!
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!).

We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
Somewhere baby, somehow I know it.

We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
Believe me baby
I know it baby
You know it too.
